Kurt Tay vs Loh Jia Hung at Void Deck

https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/wrestling-champion-kurt-tay-accepts-strangers-challenge-fight-void-deck-now-under-police

Actually Kurt Tay is same gang as me, Singaporean with foreign spouse. His wife is from Vietnam, now holding PR and they have a son and a daughter.

I watch his YouTube videos sometimes, his videos are quite unusual, but so far I see he's just doing his own stuff and not disturbing anyone. Some of the comments can get very nasty, not sure why some people find enjoyment disturbing him.

I think this led to the fight:

"Speaking to AsiaOne, Tay said that Loh had been repeatedly taunting him and challenging him to a fight."

I found Loh Jia Hung's profile on Linkedin, he is a student at Republic Polytechnic, I see under his "Skills", clearly he is physically very skillful:

I also found Kurt Tay's profile on Linkedin, by the name of "Tay Foo Wei", clearly he doesn't have any of those skills that Loh have.

So why would a young man who is physically skillful challenge a 40 year old man who is clearly not his match? What's at stake here? What's the point really?

According to Loh:

"It is insulting to those who participate in combat sports when people like him claim to be able to 'beat 5 men' or whatever. I don't think I'm particularly good, but certainly ok enough to beat Kurt. Just thought I'd have some fun while I'm still young."

Yeah have fun while you are young, just don't do anything that you will regret later.

Anyway people should just leave Kurt Tay be, he's not bothering anyone so I don't see why people should bother him.

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
